He then cancelled his tours after a rant in front of thousands of people while on stage.

This break down of the magnetic man, reminded everyone of the man behind the enigma and where it all went wrong for him.

Strong, Quiet and Resilient

His twitter and award show rants may not allude to the fact that Kanye West is a peaceful man at heart. But the fact is that his mom played a strong part in his upbringing and she infused in him a sense of higher purpose.

A Reputation for Ruthlessness

However, his tireless pursuit of comfort and cash has earned him a reputation for arrogance, pride and self-promotion. He is perhaps the only person ever to rush to the stage at an awards show when he clearly wasn’t named the winner.

Kanye seems to have propelled beyond himself as his career grows. He may be one of the biggest superstars of the past decade, but he hasn’t been able to hold on to the prestige and high reputation that usually comes with such titles. Kanye has managed to become the laughing stock of the entertainment industry.

His Personal Struggles Manifest

When we look at Kanye, the first impression is that of a very wealthy man, with a beautiful wife, two children and enough money and businesses to last him several lifetimes.

But behind the façade is a man who is very unsure of himself or where he wants to be.

According to sources, he immensely feels the loss of his mother, who was instrumental in his rise to success. It is important that entertainment industry insiders, fans of rap music and followers of Kanye West understand that Kanye’s latest psychotic breakdown has been years in the making.

It is also a good time for him to remember that his fame and his fortune are a result of his talent, and nothing else. The day he goes back to his roots and starts to make music from the heart again, the heartbreak and pain will start to subside.
